Ia the tank room and in a few minutes
one of the tanks exploded, scattering
burning lard over the adjacent buildings
aud II dozen fires were soon competing
with each other in the destruction of the
Immense establishment. The Fire was not
struck GU until 7 o'clock this evening,
fourteen aud a half hours after its start,
and a five acre oven will remain on the
PROMISES red hot for a couple of days. In
this territory there were four large build
ings of the packing company. The main
building Was 30Ox475 feet. This, with
the exception of the curing rooms, which
was saved with its contents-l9, 700, OUO

TOMS a total los. On the east side OF
the main building Was q warehouse of
four stories and a basement and contain
ing 1900 barrels of mess pork belonging
70 Armour. The building and must of
the pork was totally destroyed. Between
6O and 700 hogs were also crenated. At
the back OF the main building was a fertil.
lLlng factory, 100 feet square, and an
engine house, 50x65 feet. both of which
structures were completely destroyed.
The most exciting scene of the day was
presented when the men we're attempting
To drive out the live hogs in the upper
stories. Below were scores of workmen
rolling out barrels of pork. Down on the
crowd pellmcll leaped dozens of hogs,
maddened by burns jumping from wiz
dUws and through hatchways. The work
men below we're compelled to flee for their
lives.
In the afternoon, when a number of
fremen were trying to save the short ribs
in the curing roOm a division wall fell, in

the stock at 300, 700. About half the
2 600 employees will be thrown out Of
work.

Will Not Relent.

LONDON, June 27.-ln the commons
to night w. II. Smith, first lord of the
treasury, replying to Johnston said that no
proposal to establish diplomatic relations
between England aud the vatican had
ever been contemplated, nor had any such
proposal been made to or by the govern.
ment. Smith announced that the gov
eminent intended TO proceed with the
crimes bill until it passed the report
stage.
Robertson (LiberaD moved that a new
clause be added to the bull providing the
act could be repealed by an order in coun
ell. This, he said, would prevent the
house OF lords keeping tho act on the
statute book in defiance of the wishes of
the
BaltOur, chief secretary of Ireland, OPP
posed the new clause.
Morley moved that the duration of the
act be limited to three years. IL was the
first time. he said, that any government
had the shameful courage to propose per-
petual coercion. This was the first gov
nme that cast to the winds the old
fashioned regard for the liberty of It's sub
iects aud the doctrine that exceptional
legislation should not last one day longer
than circumstances demanded.
Webster, attorney general, opposed
Morley's motion.
Gladstone urged that the special char
acter OF abe bill was the reason for limit
ing its duration. Its enactment as a per-
manent measure would agRravate existing
evils, intensity the alienation and es.
arrangement from law wherein lay the fun
damental evil OF Ireland's social condi-
ton.
Sir Wilfred Lawson, supporting the
amendment, said it was an honor to
America to send none to those fighting
for the freedom of Ireland.
The amendment was rejected.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION

The convention reassembled at 2 o'clock and listened to apaper on the Tonic Sofia system prepared by Mrs. Van Kirk, of Phil adelphia, and read by Mrs. Angeline Brooks of New Haven, the president of the associa- tion. It was an able exposition of the Tonic Sofia notation which represents the natural
 side of music as it is expressed by the human
 voice, thereby avoiding the complications of clefs, sharps, flats, transpositions and modu-
 lations. The value of the system is attested
 by musicians of the highest culture. It is recommended as a true medium for masses and changing music from restricted to universal use.
 The members of the association then took their places around one of the long tables de- voted to the uses of the children of the West Middle kindergarten, while Miss Bickford, of New Haven, gave a representation of kinder
 garten work with balls, cubes and cylinders,
 termed in kindergarten phraseology the sec ond "gift." This was followed by an expo. sition of the fifth "gift" by Miss Brooks, who used cubes divided into halves and quarters.
 The exercises closed with an illustration by
 Miss Livermore, of New Haven, of the sixth
 'gift," columns and parallelopipedons being employed. The children are taught to ob- serve the analogy between the forms of these little blocks and the objects they see about them. With the blocks they build houses, and even construct Greek tenn pies with architectural precision. It is re- markable how much mathematical knowl- edge is imparted. An improved method of free hand waving was then discussed and practiced by the teachers. Various samples of the paper work accomplished by children were exhibited on 8 side table, and it was suggested that an exchange of new designs be made permanent feature of future meetings of the association.
 The next convention of the kindergartners will probably occur in this city in October. The committee in charge of Saturdays meet ing consisted of Miss Brooks. Miss Livermore and Miss Peck, all of New Haven.
